+# History
+
+This is NetBSD indent. It originally came from the University of Illinois via
+some distribution tape for PDP-11 Unix. It has subsequently been hacked upon
+by James Gosling @ CMU. At some point in the 1970s or even 1980s, it was
+thought to be "the nicest C pretty printer around". Around 1985, further
+additions to provide "Kernel Normal Form" were contributed by the folks at Sun
+Microsystems.
+
+Between 2000 and 2019, FreeBSD maintained the code, adding several features.
+NetBSD imported these changes on 2019-04.04.
+
+In 2021, indent was updated to handle C99 comments, cleaning up the code. It
+got a proper test suite, uncovering many inconsistencies and bugs that either
+had been there forever or had been introduced by importing the FreeBSD version
+in 2019.
